Leading off, a story from 2020 that's still absolutely incredible: The Wildest Insurance Fraud Scheme Texas Has Ever Seen.
This is worth following, and it's intense: A Dispatch From the Most Brutal Fight in Texas: The Camp Mystic Hearings.
A terrific read: The Wayfinders: The Marshall Islands’ first national soccer team discovers what “home” can mean—on a field in Arkansas.
This seems like totally normally criming and not doomed to fail or anything: 3 Southern California residents sentenced in bear suit insurance fraud scheme.
From DQ Artist Fredrik S., and it's tremendous: The Hit Erotica Writers Outwitting Nigeria’s Religious Censors. Also, this is an absolutely fantastic read: Who Killed the Florida Orange?
From Wally, and it's wild: These Salmon Got High on Cocaine. That Wasn’t the Craziest Part.. This is also wild (and, by the way, "no"): Can an AI Performance Win an Oscar? Val Kilmer’s Digital Resurrection Is Forcing Hollywood to Create New Awards Rules. This is certainly possible, in much the same way that social media has shaped it as well: AI learns language from skewed sources. That could change how we humans speak – and think. Be warned, this is very, very long (and quite good): I Found It: The Best Free Restaurant Bread in America. Insane: By the Power of Grayskull: The Masters of the Universe Popcorn Bucket Is a Castle and the Sword of Power Is a Drink Container.
